Use the round clamps they sell. Note that the Whirlpool dryers and Kenmores
made by whirpool have a very short snout to attach the clamp to but it is
possible to do it securely if you locate the locking screw mechanism to the
bottom of the duct. Why whirlpool uses such a short pipe is beyond me.
Maytag gives you several inches to attach the duct to.

The duc tape they sell today is crap. So, I was wondering, after the
second
failure downstairs on the dryer, ... has anyone use machine screws to
connect light AL exhaust ducting? The only down side could see
would be perhaps the lint gathering on the screw inside the duct and
causing a problem.

(Yes, I know the old rubberized stuff is still available on line. I
used to repair my
down jackets with it :-)
